When sophisticated New York clothing designer Melanie Carmichael (Academy(R) Award winner Reese Witherspoon) gets engaged to the city's most eligible bachelor, Andrew Hennings (Patrick Dempsey), she soon discovers it's no fairy tale romance. Melanie has skeletons in her fashion-filled closet that involve Jake (Josh Lucas) - the "down-home" husband she married in high school who refuses to divorce her. Determined to cut ties with her past, Melanie returns to Alabama, but when home tugs at her heartstrings she is forced to decide what she really wants after all. Fred Ward, Mary Kay Place, Jean Smart, Ethan Embry, Melanie Lynskey and Candice Bergen also star. The movie was written by Douglas Eboch and C. Jay Cox and directed by Andy Tennant.
